    "When we began discussing audio projects to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Grateful Dead back in 2012, we knew we wanted to do something completely unprecedented. We could think of nothing more exciting or ambitious than a career-spanning overview of the band's live legacy focused on what best tells the story: complete concerts. Our first criterion was the very best live music to represent any given year in the band’s history. We wanted to make sure that there were not only the tent-pole shows that fans have been demanding for decades but also ones that are slightly more under the radar, but equally excellent. For those who listen to the entire box straight through, chronologically, the narrative of the Grateful Dead's live legacy will be seen as second to none in the pantheon of music history." - David Lemieux

    We are more than pleased to announce the Grateful Dead's most ambitious release ever: 30 TRIPS AROUND THE SUN. Available as both an 80-disc boxed set and a custom lightning-bolt USB drive, the collection includes 30 unreleased live shows, one for each year the band was together from 1966 to 1995, along with one track from their earliest recording sessions in 1965. Packed with over 73 hours of music, both the boxed set and the USB drive will be individually numbered limited editions.

    The 80-disc boxed set is individually numbered and limited to 6,500 copies, a nod to the band’s formation in 1965. Along with the CDs, it also includes a gold-colored 7-inch vinyl single which bookends the band’s career. The A-side is “Caution (Do Not Stop On Tracks)” from the band’s earliest recording session in 1965 with the B-side of the last song the band ever performed together live, “Box Of Rain” recorded during their final encore at Soldier Field in Chicago on July 9, 1995.

    The box also comes with a 288-page book that features an extensive, career-spanning essay written by Nick Meriwether, who oversees the Dead archives at the University of California, Santa Cruz, along with special remembrances of the band submitted by fans. Also included is a scroll that offers a visual representation of how the band’s live repertoire has evolved through the years.

    The USB drive version* will be shaped like a gold lightning bolt with the Grateful Dead 50th anniversary logo engraved on the side. The drive includes all of the music from the collection in both FLAC (96/24) and MP3 formats and is an individually numbered limited edition of 1,000 copies. Digital version of the book also included on USB.

    Shows will NOT be sold individually on CD. This release is sure to sell out quickly so pre-order your copy today and stick around as we will be revealing a mighty fine selection of music, art, and much, much more right here.

    (Looking for a smaller 50th Anniversary commemorative keepsake? September 18th will see the release of a four-CD version of the collection titled 30 TRIPS AROUND THE SUN: THE DEFINITIVE LIVE STORY 1965-1995. More on that here.)

    ROLLINGSTONE.COM SONG PREMIERE AND EXCLUSIVE DAVID LEMIEUX INTERVIEW
    Head on over to Rollingstone.com for the very first listen of "Morning Dew" 9/18/87 Madison Square Garden, David Fricke's exclusive interview with archivist David Lemieux, and the reveal of 30 TRIPS AROUND THE SUN's '69 and '84 shows.

    *Helpful hints for using your USB:

    Running the 30 Trips Player / Reader program:
    On Windows – Navigate to the USB drive and double click the PCStart.exe file to run.
    On MacOS – Open the GD 30 Trips drive, and double click the MacStart to run.

    Viewing the digital book:
    You can either view it within the program that comes on the drive, or by opening the PDF directly.

    To view the PDF, open the PDF folder on the drive and the USB_bk_spreads_08-31 file within. Selecting the option within your PDF reading application to view as a “single page” might be preferable to viewing as a continuous document.

    Importing music into iTunes and other library programs:
    When you import the songs from the USB into your library, the information used to identify the track will likely leave them sorted incorrectly. Please use the song list found here to re-number the songs for each show so that they playback in the correct order.

    Video of the 30 Trips box
    I too would love to see a video on the contents of the box as they did with the Spring '90 release. I emailed Dave about it last week. I think that perhaps these boxes have not yet been produced? Maybe that is why they are having us order them 3 months ahead of time. I think they want to collect the coin and then pay the manufacturer for the production. Rock on

    I don't think Dave will put Cornell out as a Dave's Pick. That's one show they'll want to milk for all of it's "best show ever" monetary value. I see those Betty Boards as a May '77 Too box with Cornell as the standalone in store everywhere. The 40th anniversary is just around the corner in 2017. So many of the shows in this box have great 'companion' shows that beg to be released as well, who knows. With Dave's track record I'm guessing we're getting something from '73.

    30 Trips Box Set > Dave's Picks #15
    I for one am thrilled with the box set, really couldn't ask for more....and price is not really bad considering what you are getting. That being said I'm always interested in how Dave decides on his next DP releases. DP#15 is going to have to be pretty unique/special also to get folks attention away from box set. I could see him going with 5/8/77 just to finally get it out there, and of course a part of this 50th celebration. that show was recorded by Betty, and was not recorded in multi-track....that being said I think Dave will now focus on early to mid-80s. I believe that is what he has been listening to, and I think we will probably see another 1984 show w/extra disc released for DP#15. There was some chatter on archive.org forum about 4/26/84 being looked at, we'll see?!?! Bottom line grab the box set if you haven't already bought it!

    > Did anyone else notice that Neptune's the only Planet not > represented on the cover Isn't that Neptune down in the lower left corner, right by the red lettering? I am listening to the Jamaica show now, as it's been a while since I've heard it. Let it Grow is the first time during the first set that there sounds like any life to me. The first several songs were fine, just a little boring to my ears. Granted, the time of day had to affect the band, but until Let it Grow, it seemed like a pretty low-energy affair. Set Two is better, but I'll stand by my earlier statement implying that there are several stronger shows from 1982 deserving of release. Give me August or October 10th. I like both of those. Heck - I even like the '82 Veneta show, but there may be bias there ... I am a sucker for Oregon shows.

This offering from 30 Trips is a classic Bruce/Vinnie show! The whole fall 1990 tour really. For a band who just hired two new players this tour has some mighty fine moments. New York to the UK and more! Good stuff!
